With high winds, dry conditions and concerns over “very high” fire danger, the South Milwaukee School District’s controlled burn near the high school and middle schools has been put off until at least Wednesday.
Learn more about the original plans in my previous post on this topic, and here is a Milwaukee Journal Sentinel story on concerns over outdoor burning of any kind in southeastern Wisconsin.
From Acting South Milwaukee Fire Chief Joe Knitter:
The DNR has lessened some restrictions throughout the State, however, Southeastern Wisconsin remains in a Very High classification for burning regulations. Since winds are being predicted to be in excess of 35 MPH this afternoon, we will keep a close watch on all outside burning activities and warn and advise people as necessary.
I’ll keep you posted when I learn more.
